Cornerstone Community Church, San Jose Ca

Have you ever heard a lecture by someone especially smart, so smart that most of it went right over your head? Everyone around you is taking notes and nodding their head approvingly, soaking in the great wisdom of the speaker, and you’re thinking, “I have no idea what this guy’s talking about!” I’ve been to a few talks like that in my life. And even though I’m a pastor and I’ve been studying the Bible for most of my life, I have to confess something to you – I find a number of the things Jesus said to be very hard to understand. There are times when I will read a chapter in Matthew, Mark, Luke or John and through most of the chapter I’m thinking, “Yep, I get it, that’s important, I need to remember this,” and then I’ll get to one or two verses and I’ll stop and think, “What in the world did Jesus mean by that?”
